How I Organized Our Utility Closet for Under $50
We all need a hard working closet that doesn’t need a trip to the garage (or shed!) every time you need something. A spot to store things like cleaning products, batteries, bulbs, and other items. To make that space a reality in my home, I turned our linen closet into a utility closet for only $50. Here’s how:
First, I made a list of all the items I wanted to include in the space.
Sunscreen
Travel Stuff
Bulbs
Vacuum Parts
Rags
Cleaning
Batteries
Labeling supplies
Stationary
Toiletries
You may have fewer or more groupings depending on the size of your space and items that you have. I knew that I wanted to use the existing shelving to keep costs low. The shelves are tall and not adjustable so stacking bins was in my plan to maximize the space.
First, I measured my shelves and started looking for stackable bins.
To stay on budget, I chose these large shoe bins. You can buy a case of 10 for only $49.99.
I grouped like items together, tossed them in each bin and stacked them on the shelves.
And I used a chalk marker I already had to label them.
Super simple and functional.
You can do it too! Here is what you need to complete this project at home:
